So to give a rundown of my story, I had a miscarriage back in September. I never had a period after that and found out I was pregnant in early November. I had my first ultrasound on November 21st to date my pregnancy and she estimated about 5 weeks. I had the next ultrasound on December 5th and there was something wrong. The doctor said there was no heartbeat and that they were getting a crown to rump measurement but still, no heartbeat. They were saying that they could see a tiny flicker but it wasn't strong enough for the machine to pick up. She told me I had a blighted ovum and told me my options for a forced miscarriage. I declined, simply to just wait it out. I have another ultrasound scheduled this Tuesday on the 12th just to make absolutely sure that my pregnancy well not make it to term. Is there anyone out there who has had a similar problem but it turned out ok and that their baby was just a little late with a beating heart that would pick up in the machine? I don't know if I can handle another miscarriage back to back. Thanks in advance.

Sorry to hear that. I would suggest going for a second opinion. There are several positive stories on this website -http://www.misdiagnosedmiscarriage.com. Also 5 weeks is too early to see a heartbeat. Prayers with you.

A blighted ovum, is where there is a sac and nothing else, I know this because I just had one in Nov, also sometimes 5wks is to early to hear a heart beat, I would get a second opinion for sure and see what they say. prayers for you.

From what I understand blighted ovum is when there is nothing inside the sac. I am concerned about their competence if they say that it is and you get baby crown rump measurement, my baby’s heartbeat was not evident until 6+5w so it might have been too early, I had back to back miscarriages 6&10 weeks june&september

Well there was no fetal pole, which there had been one last week. The yolk sac was completely empty. So within this past week, my pregnancy had actually regressed and it is confirmed that I will be miscarrying soon. I had a d&c scheduled for next week if I don't pass it by then. I wouldn't normally want to do that, but at this point I just want this over with. My last miscarriage was so traumatic and my doctor told me I should have gone to the ER since I had passed out but I didn't think they'd be able to do anything. Hopefully I can pass everything before I have to do the d&c. That's my last resort but I definitely don't want the medication because my doc said that it doesn't always pass everything the first time and I don't want to have to keep taking doses of medication.

That's exactly why I had another rescheduled so I could just make sure that it really isn't going anywhere. The ultrasound tech was pretty rude about it. My pregnancy had actually regressed between the ultrasounds. I'm a little upset that I went at 5 weeks and they had me come back at 7 weeks. If I would have gone in at 6 weeks, I might have been able to see my baby and hear it's heartbeat. I never had the pleasure of any of that with my last pregnancy.

Sorry for your loss, i had a blightened ovum about two years ago and opted for a d&c. Worst mistake of my life. When I became pregnant again my cervix had been damaged from the d&c and so that made my cervix incompetent which is when your cervix just dilates and you go into labor in the second trimester and I lost my daughter at 22 weeks GA. I'm not a doctor or anything but you should really inform yourself on any other options to pass just to stay away from a d&c.
